A triangular love affair resulted in the shooting death of a Diamond man at his home yesterday morning and the police are seeking a sole suspect, Muammar Jabbar called ‘Omar Jabbar’, who was released from prison two weeks ago.
Dead is 31-year-old Ketezel Bazillo of the new Young Professionals Housing Scheme at Diamond, East Bank Demerara, who was killed at his home, where he lived with his reputed wife and four children aged 12 to 16 years old, following a confrontation.
According to the Guyana Police Force, Bazillo’s reputed wife Wanda Jones related that on Friday night she was at home decorating the house, when she called the suspect, Jabbar of Albouystown, and asked him to bring her some KFC Chicken.
The police wase told that Bazillo was not at home and Jones allowed Jabbar to stay the night. However, the release said, Bazillo arrived home at about 4:30 hrs yesterday and called out for Jones to open the front door. She told the police that she hesitated and Bazillo became annoyed and questioned her timing.
The release said she then told Bazillo that Jabbar was in the house. After she refused to open the door, the police said, Bazillo went to the eastern bedroom window where he removed several louvre panes and entered the house through the window. The house is a one-flat concrete structure in a fenced yard.
The release said Bazillo confronted Jabbar who pulled out a handgun and discharged a round at him. After Bazillo fell to the ground, Jabbar shot him again, the release said.
The police found two gunshot wounds on Bazillo’s body, one to the neck and one to the chin area. One .32 spent shell was found in the bedroom. Several broken louvre windows were also seen in the bedroom.
Jabbar had been formally charged in June this year, with the August 2013 stabbing to death of Tadaskie Marshall also known as ‘Tallo’. His murder trial began at the end of that month and may have ended in his favour given his recent release.
